7 Reasons Why Fighting Cats Must Be Separated Immediately
For those of you who keep cats and their cats are free to go in and out of the house, you must often see your cat fighting with stray cats. When they fight, at first they will start arguing first with their meowing sounds.
They argue by meowing as loudly as possible and then in the end they will fight fists and claw each other. Seeing this, of course, we as owners don't want our cats to fight each other with other cats.
That's why as soon as we hear the sound of cats fighting, we will as soon as possible try to separate them by chasing them away with water or with brooms and similar objects.
When we hear cats fighting, it is mandatory for us to separate them even though we are not the owners of the cat itself. Maybe you ask why we have to bother separating fighting cats ?
There are several reasons why you must separate cats when they fight. So what are those ? Find out why by reading Anggora's article below.
Why Fighting Cats Should Be Separated
There are many reasons why cats fighting with each other should be separated. Some of these reasons can be personal or because of public interest. What are the reasons cats fight to be separated, here are some of the reasons :
1. The Cat Is Our Pet Cat
When we see a cat and it turns out that one of the two fighting cats is ours, we will spontaneously immediately help our beloved cat and chase away other cats or stray cats that are fighting with it. Maybe what we do seems to be favoritism, but we do this with a specific purpose, such as:
So our cat doesn't get hurt
So that cats are not bullied by other cats
Let other cats know that the area is not allowed
Make other cats deterrence so they no longer come to disturb our cats
Oh yes, even though the cat that we chase away is not our cat or just a wild cat, but it's better not to expel it in ways that can hurt it, OK ?
5. Afraid Of A Dead Cat
In your mind you might think that it is impossible for a cat to die just because a cat fights but in reality it is not the case. Cats can die because of fighting, for example, fighting cats can run onto the road and harm themselves or passing motorists.
Cats can also fall from roofs and die and cats can fall into wells or rivers while running away from their enemies. Anggora himself had experienced this, one of Anggora's favorite cats died when he entered a neighbor's well during a fight.
We didn't realize it because it was raining so hard that when the cat screamed for help no one heard it.
6. Fear Of Cats Becoming Lost
Cats can also disappear after they fight with their enemies (other cats). This happens when a cat cannot fight back and ends up running away from another cat that beats it.
If he goes too far and then he is not familiar with the place then he can get lost. This often happens to fighting cats, they sometimes don't come home for a few days because they get lost and they won't even come back at all and disappear.
Angora himself just a few weeks ago lost his Anggora mix village cat because they often fought. That's why if you don't want the cat to disappear, immediately separate the fighting cat and then bring your cat directly into the house.
7. Bringer of Bad Luck
Have you ever heard of the advice of old parents who said that if cats who are fighting are not separated immediately, it will bring bad luck to those around them.
In some cases, cat fights do bring bad luck, such as: neighborly relations will be damaged, cats may disappear or die, objects will be damaged and so on.
However, if this is related to people who do not separate them when they hear that they will experience accidents, death, calamities and do not have good fortune, then according to Anggora this is not true.
Anggora himself never chased away cats that were fighting at night, because at that time he was very tired and sleepy, Anggora even fell asleep after waking up even though the cats were noisy. Until now, Anggora has never experienced a disaster, death or bad fortune.
Not even family members experienced it. But for cats that die and disappear and things get damaged, Anggora has experienced it heheh.
If You Intend To Separate Fighting Cats Then Do This
Don't immediately separate the cats with your bare hands, if you don't want your hands to get hurt by their claws. You have to do the following things so you can safely separate the cats :
Don't separate cats with bare hands, bring water, towels or cloths
Approach the cat but not too close because there is still a risk that you will get scratched by the cat
Flush the cat's face with water. We do this so that the cat immediately stops and runs away. If you water the body where there is a cat, it continues to fight and doesn't care about you at all
If flushing the cat doesn't work, take a towel or cloth and cover the heads of the two cats then take one of the cats away or into the house. The point is you take the other cats away so they don't stare and see each other again
Oh yes, when you want to separate the cats, don't use tools or objects that can hurt them, because after all, cats are living things created by the Creator that we must love and protect their existence.
Now by doing the method above you can stop cat fights effectively and safely. Maybe that's all the discussion about some of the reasons why fighting cats should be separated. Hopefully this article is useful for you.
